Mike Isabella’s First Restaurant, Graffiato, Is Closed - Eater DC

"Mike Isabella’s seven-year-old flagship restaurant Graffiato has shut off its lights for good, marking the latest piece of bad news for the troubled Top Chef alum. A source inside the restaurant group told Eater that Italian-inspired Graffiato is “indeed closed.” A Popville tipster noted the 130-seat restaurant was locked on Tuesday night during dinner service hours, with no explanation posted on the door. Rent-related woes surfaced last week, with Douglas Development suing for more than $28,000 in alleged unpaid rent and other fees, reported Washingtonian. Its location at 707 6th Street NW is currently listed for lease." - Tierney Plumb
